  1. 0's and 1's on 'Destroyed' Hard Drive Found At Flea Market · · Score: 0

    write them all you want randomly, your data will still exist, even as a shadow on a burned chunk of mylar. All you need is a power cable and a power supply. Possibly the quickest way to protect your data when you toss the drive is with some assorted flavor drill bits on the end of that DeWalt using a slice of Finlandia as a template.

  2. If you don't like what you see just change the... on HyperTransport 3.0 Ratified · · Score: 0

    Oh wait.

  3. Re:god on Negroponte Responds to $100 Laptop Criticisms · · Score: 0

    America has enough laptops to lease every know IP address in every Starbucks from coast to coast. Even with an education system we still have an AIDS problem here, and China, Russia and most of Eastern Europe for that matter, they have laptops too and an education system.

  4. One sided article. on Plans For .xxx Domain For p0rn Scrapped · · Score: 0

    As a former IT coordinator for the New York School System and as a parent I tend to side with idea the .xxx would be a progressive step to assist me in protecting and instilling what I feel are correct values for my children; being I already do that, I should not have to keep a 24 hour vigil to accommodate that.. A .xxx would at least in theory pacify those concerns. It was stated earlier that most porn sites do not wish to bypass filters, unfortunately there are countless others that do no share this belief, and from working with middle school kids on internet projects the possibility of caching sites came up as students were presented with government projects (Granted, this was during the Clinton administration.) To dump the Christian Rights stance in this was a journalistically simple vehicle to slant the reader into feeling taking a position against this is the obvious intelligent choice. Since I don't work for the Department of Education any longer I do not know what their opinion is on this, the article did not state it either. The bias was presented one sided. Is the reluctance to changing the domain stemmed from the idea that when someone goes looking for p0rn they will have to try a little harder, or is it the stigma of looking though a .xxx domain and not a .com for pornography?

  5. Free is not good enough? It has to be on Linux? on Free 3D Animation DAZ|Studio 1.0 Released · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How many art directors and production staff are using Linux? Yea, I need drivers for my Serial Wacom Tablet and SCSI Brunoli 40 MB... ...Oh I have to write them. Is Creative Suite 2 out for Linux? No? How about QuarkXPress? No... Think you can go to press with a 72DPI RGB JPG from Star Office? If you're so jihad for Linux get a G5, it's BSD McUnix, at least the permissions have to be recreated every other day so it must be! The point is D|S is a kick ass app, and form them to give it away free is pretty cool.
